Would you preferred Ben Navarro bought Panthers in 2018 ?

Looks like a less successful billionaire who made money off of predatorial practices of the poor. Other than being local, which means nothing to ME in the big picture with a person like that, he looks like another flavor of poo than the one we ended up with...just poorer. 

I'll save my love of ownership for when they get rid of the billionaires. Until then they are all aspects of the sport we fans have to suffer through and nothing more.

Yeah Tepper was basically guaranteed to be the next owner of an NFL franchise. God I wish he bought the Saints after Benson died

Wonder if Wal Mart guy would've bought the Panthers then.

As far as Tepper, I know the NFL told one of the other potential buyers (Michael Rubin, I think) that if he wasn't prepared to spend at least 5 billion he should drop out of the race. He did.

Tepper ultimately bought the team for less than half that.

it was always going to be tepper, he was already vetted by the nfl and once they started digging into Ben N the more sleazy poo they saw and if you remember his bid stopped on a dime.   The NFL wasnt about to bring that poo into their house.

I mean, when you have an "auction" where something is supposed to go to the highest bidder and it ends up going to the lowest, there's just a chance there's been some shenanigans afoot 😕

Its not that simple, Tepper paid cash.  No financing, no partners.  Straight cash.  That adjusts the price quite a bit

It's valid to add that Tepper had the cash when Navarro didn't.

But Michael Rubin likely had the cash too, and the NFL effectively bluffed him out of the chase.

where are you seeing that at?

It was a story that came out during the ownership bids. Source was probably Albert Breer but I can't say that for certain. Breer was the one who had the best information during the process.

(heck, it's probably still posted on The Huddle if the archives go back that far)

Rubin now owns or partially owns an NBA team (I forget which one).

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
